Growing up White Stripes' two of my favorite records used to be their first two and it's easy to see why. This is the rawest and most charming they've ever sounded.

Back in the day I would not pay much attention to lyrics or sonic experimentation, if it sounded angsty it was right up my alley. And I still have ton of nostalgia for this album, but I also think it's genuinely overhated. Yes "Creep" is overplayed, but most of you forget just how amazing and punchy the chorus is.
